Frequently Asked Questions
Which Australian storage provider is the cheapest?
Based on current national data, StorHub has the lowest median price at $130/month across all unit sizes. However, the cheapest provider varies by location and unit size — compare prices in your suburb for the best deal.
How much does self storage cost per month in Australia?
Self storage in Australia costs between $100-$450 per month on average, depending on unit size and location. Small lockers start at $40/month, medium units (5-10 m²) cost $200-$350/month, and large units (10-20 m²) range from $300-$500/month. Prices vary by city, with Sydney and Melbourne being the most expensive.
What size storage unit do I need for a 1 bedroom apartment?
A 5x10 (50 sq ft) storage unit is ideal for a 1 bedroom apartment. This size fits a queen mattress, dresser, TV, and 10-15 boxes of personal items. For couples or larger furniture, consider a 5x15 (75 sq ft) unit. Our data shows medium units (5-10 m²) are the most popular for apartment moves.
What can you not store in a storage unit?
You cannot store perishable items (food, pet food), dangerous goods (flammables, explosives, weapons), illegal items, living things (plants, animals), or wet/moist items in storage units. These items attract pests, create odors, and violate facility rules. Always check your facility's prohibited items list before storing.
How many storage providers does StoragePrices track?
We track pricing from 13 major Australian self-storage providers across 656 facilities, covering 11851 individual units.
How often are storage prices updated?
Prices are refreshed on a weekly schedule for each provider. Kennards and National Storage are scanned weekly, Storage King twice weekly, and Fort Knox, StoreLocal, and Roomia weekly. This ensures you always see current market rates.
What size storage unit do I need for a 2 bedroom house?
A 10x10 (100 sq ft) storage unit is perfect for a 2 bedroom house. This fits the contents of 2-3 rooms including mattresses, furniture, appliances, and 20-30 boxes. For larger homes or garage contents, consider a 10x15 (150 sq ft) or 10x20 (200 sq ft) unit.
Is it worth getting a storage unit?
A storage unit is worth it if you're moving, renovating, decluttering, or need space for seasonal items. At $100-$450/month, it's cost-effective compared to larger apartments or houses. According to our data, most users save money by renting storage instead of upgrading to larger living spaces.
How do I choose the right storage unit size?
Choose storage size based on what you're storing: lockers (2 m²) for boxes and small items, small units (3-5 m²) for studio apartments, medium units (5-10 m²) for 1-2 bedrooms, and large units (10-20 m²) for 2-3 bedroom houses. Use our size guide or compare facility prices to find the best fit.
What is the cheapest storage option?
The cheapest storage option varies by location, but StorHub currently offers the lowest median prices nationally at $130/month. Small lockers ($40-$120/month) are the cheapest unit type. Compare providers in your suburb to find the best deal.
Can I store a mattress in a storage unit?
Yes, you can store mattresses in storage units. Use a mattress cover or plastic wrap to protect from dust and moisture. Store mattresses flat if possible, or on their side for space-saving. Queen and king mattresses fit in medium units (5x10), while larger units accommodate multiple mattresses.
How long can you rent a storage unit for?
You can rent storage units for as short as 1 month or indefinitely. Most facilities offer month-to-month leases with no long-term commitment. Long-term rentals (6+ months) may qualify for discounts. According to industry data, average rental duration is 12-18 months.
Do storage units have electricity?
Most standard storage units do not have electricity. They're designed for storing items, not as workspaces. Some premium facilities offer climate-controlled units with power for temperature regulation, but these cost 20-50% more than standard units.
What happens if I don't pay my storage unit?
If you don't pay storage rent, facilities typically charge late fees after 5-10 days. After 30-60 days of non-payment, your unit may be overlocked (denied access) and your belongings could be auctioned to recover costs. Always communicate with your facility if you're having payment issues.
Do all providers operate in every Australian state?
No. Kennards and National Storage have the broadest national coverage. Storage King operates in most states. Fort Knox and StoreLocal cover VIC, NSW, and QLD. Roomia serves VIC and NSW. Rent a Space is limited to NSW (Sydney and Canberra).
